Attacking Anxiety & Depression Program

For those of us in a healthy state of mind, the Holiday season is a joyous time of year, for others, it can be a reminder of loved ones past, distant, empty nesters, post-partum sufferers, among other reasons.

There's a reason people say ignorance is bliss, it's easier to say the illness doesn't exist rather than seek out a cure for it, or help some "difficult" person in your life cope with it.

Birds of a feather flock together, but what if that flock is your better half? Your mother? ? Your sister-in-law? Your one-time friend? If you're the flock in better flight, why not show the weaker flock "the ropes".

Whether neurological or psychological, this program works, because it worked for me. The program is meant to run like a college course, it takes 15 weeks to complete and no hastiness should be taken if a cure is the solution you seek. It consists of 15 chapters, beginning with the most basic: the reason for your depression and then introduces week by week different strategies to alleviate your depression.

The program incorporates distinct levels of interaction: an audio series of other members sharing their experience chapter by chapter (audio), a booklet to complete assignments on (visual) and a relaxation cd (kinesthetic) to listen to 3 times per day in order to calm you. The relaxation CD alone is simple but a invaluable resource.

A review of the program can be found at http://www.stresscenter.com/. Additionally,Midwest Center has a 30 day trial period, which hooked me.

According to NIMH (National Institute of Mental Health) 14.8 million American adults 18 and older suffer from depression. If you or someone you know is suffering from depression please visit http://www.stresscenter.com/ for help.
